Drew Brees Signs with NBC Sports

This would explain the interest in Jordan Love. I wouldn't be surprised if we traded up to take him now.

Bittersweet news. I'm sure he will be a fantastic commentator and I look forward to that. But it's a stark reminder that a future without the greatest player to ever wear the black and gold (and the best QB to ever play the game if you ask me) is coming soon. I don't cry for much, but I'll probably be choked up when he makes it official. We've been blessed to have him all these years and it sure won't be the same without him.

Get ready for all the band wagoners and millennials to jump ship when we have a few seasons of mediocre QB play. Some people think the last 14 years is typical and within a matter of a year or two we will have another decade plus all pro QB.

I’m actually kind of looking forward to the meltdown. Saintsreport will be a ghost town.

A Mike Tirico-Drew Brees booth for Sunday Night Football is going to be fantastic.

Probably also means if there is no 2020 season Drew is done.

Congrats to Brees.

It's been a great ride.

Whenever that ride is over. Once again, nothing in the deal indicates his retiring after this coming season. It is based upon whenever he decides to retire. My bet is that ESPN wouldn't leave it open regarding starting year and NBC would.

AG,

Regardless of when Brees retires, it's been a wonderful ride. No where in my post did I mention when he will exit left.

If you believe that he will play 2+ seasons, that's your prerogative.

Nothing against your post. I just piggybacked it to re-stress the point that the apparent deal with NBC has no specific starting date for those assuming it definitely means 2020 is absolutely Brees' last season.

This is his last year. I really doubt he makes it through the whole season. His play may not have declined but his ability to stay healthy has.
